Relec adds XRCM60 dc-dc converters from Melcher for railway

The 60W dc-dc converters cover all traction battery voltages, from 24-110V dc, and provide 60W for industrial and transportation applications.

The series has been designed to the same criteria as established M, Q, P, R, S & K series modules, but with what the company calls a ‘one size fits all’ input voltage range and cost-optimized case construction.

It has a wide input range of 16.8V to 137.5V (continuous). The converters are RoHS-compliant and are supplied in a 172x50x32mm case designed for use in space-constrained and harsh operating environments, typical of the railway and industrial markets.

Hold time across the entire input range is 20ms. The converters operate across a temperature range of -40 to 70°C.

They also feature protection against over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current and short circuit events.

In addition to railway and general industrial applications, the XRCM60 series is suitable for use in projects including military and construction vehicles, forklift trucks, outside broadcast equipment, fuel cells and renewable energy equipment.

These additions to the Melcher dc-dc range comply with EN50155, EN50121-3-2 and EN45545-2, for railway operation. They carry a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.

There is a team of engineers ready to support engineers throughout the design process. Relec also carries stock of all standard modules and accessories for next-day delivery.
